From Part Seven in the section entitled "The Long Walk to Dachau," Hans Hubermann offers a piece of bread to an old Jewish man who is walking with a large group of Jews towards Dachau. Even though Hans is whipped for his kindness by a German officer, his neighbors can't resist persecuting him as well. Those bystanders who are strong supporters of the Nazi party are the first to demonstrate their disapproval of Hans Hubermann's kindness to a Jew. First they turn over Hubermann's paint cart and the paint flows all over the street; then, they call him a "Jew lover" (395); and finally, there are those who remain silent during the whole ordeal, but eventually help him to safety. A few days later, though, Frau Diller does not think it beneath her to spit at Hans Hubermann's feet; and Frau Holtzapfel, the town's shop owner, deems it necessary to say to him, "I knew it . . . You dirty Jew lover" (401).
